1.Bios version updated to 0403
2.Ai overclock tuner from "auto" to "X.M.P"

Try using the internal Graphics Adapter or the IGP too see if the flickering still occurs. There may be a problem with your GPU.

I tried setting that also not sure why this is happening. But the board works fine without error code and as mentioned my friend is struggling with the above issue since we assembled the pc. So upset for this we had to push our purchase of gpu now.

@OP-Try to specific with your problem.Long post will not solve your issue.I will suggest you to contact your vendor from you have purchased your rig.Or try install any pcie express gfx card...then see if the problem occurs or not.Also check your psu and ram.

I think the problem with the dvi/hdmi slot of your motherboard. Try as Tenida have said & if the problem continues send your board for RMA.

As Tenida said i tried install pcie GPU it words good,there is no problem with display flicker.After i desired might be either on-board graphic or will be the hdmi slot issue as d6bmg said.So i had send M/B to my retailer prime abgb and they received it on 17th Sep,and they submitted to rashi peripherals mumbai on 19th.Till now i've not received any status of M/B.So far no RMA rised.I fed-up calling & mailing prime abgb,they simply says 'we r not received status of M/B from rashi peripherals'.I tried calling rashi peripherals,no one picking up.Is there is any way to get status of board from rashi peripherals.? Will the Asus support team help me to find out the same?
